About:

It is a rapidly growing, fully remote web and mobile platform for creating and facilitating scavenger hunts. Through our website, organizers create custom “hunts” specific to their events / activities. Teams and/or individuals compete in the hunt by using our iOS or Android app to: take photos/videos, enter a text response, and/or visit a specific location.

The key technologies we use are:

• Front-End: Javascript with React (Flux architecture, currently migrating to Redux), HTML, SCSS & Webpack.


• Back-End: Django, REST (Tastypie), Task Queuing (Celery, Redis, RabbitMQ), Postgres, Nginx, Gunicorn.

Specific responsibilities include:

• Being familiar and up-to-date with the platform functionality (online game manager & participant mobile apps).


• Working with our customer success & design teams to understand the motivations for a feature & coding it with those objectives and the user’s experience in mind. Put another way, we want you to know why you are doing what you’re doing!


• Developing the front and back-end components for new features that will help game organizers run games more effectively while delighting participants in new and unexpected ways.
